[[cat-thread-pool]]
== Thread pool

The `thread_pool` command shows cluster wide thread pool statistics per node. By default the active, queue and rejected
statistics are returned for the bulk, index and search thread pools.

[source,shell]
--------------------------------------------------
% curl 192.168.56.10:9200/_cat/thread_pool
host1 192.168.1.35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
host2 192.168.1.36 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
--------------------------------------------------

The first two columns contain the host and ip of a node.

[source,shell]
--------------------------------------------------
host      ip
host1 192.168.1.35
host2 192.168.1.36
--------------------------------------------------

The next three columns show the active queue and rejected statistics for the bulk thread pool.

[source,shell]
--------------------------------------------------
bulk.active bulk.queue bulk.rejected
          0          0             0
--------------------------------------------------

The remaining columns show the active queue and rejected statistics of the index and search thread pool respectively.

Also other statistics of different thread pools can be retrieved by using the `h` (header) parameter.

[source,shell]
--------------------------------------------------
% curl 'localhost:9200/_cat/thread_pool?v&h=id,host,suggest.active,suggest.rejected,suggest.completed'
host      suggest.active suggest.rejected suggest.completed
host1                  0                0                 0
host2                  0                0                 0
--------------------------------------------------

Here the host columns and the active, rejected and completed suggest thread pool statistic are displayed. The suggest
thread pool won't be displayed by default, so you always need be specific about what statistic you want to display.
